Integrated Intel and GeForce 520M

05-10-2012, 11:08 AM

I guys,
I have bought an ASUS U36S which has both the integrated video card and the Nvidia GeForce 520M. I have installed ubuntu 12.04 and there is no way to make use of the Nvidia drivers. I read a lot in the web and it seems to me that there is no possibility to run both the Nvidia and the Intel card because I can not disable the intel card form the BIOS.
Actually I am interested in using the Nvidia card for computation only (CUDA C etc). I am aware that one possibility to use the Nvidia card is to install Bumblebee, but I gues that it is not suitable for my purposes.
Do you have any suggestions other than running under Windows?
Bests,
Bustra
